 In Loving Memory of Jonathan Ford

 It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jonathan Ford, a beloved father, brother, and cherished friend. Jonathan left us peacefully, surrounded by the love of his family, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, passion, and dedication. Jonathan was a man of many talents and deep interests. He found immense joy in fishing, spending countless serene hours by the water, casting his line and savoring the tranquility. His skill with cars was unparalleled, as he could transform any vehicle with his expert touch and boundless knowledge. His love for military aircraft was a testament to his fascination with history and mechanics, a passion he often shared with those around him. Jonathan is survived by his devoted daughter, Enola Ford, His love for her was immeasurable, and he always strived to be the best father he could be. He is also survived by his three sisters, Jolynda, Joanie, and Juanita Ford, who shared in his joys and sorrows, standing by him with unwavering support throughout his life. Jonathan's departure leaves a void in the hearts of many loved family members and friends who had the privilege of knowing him. His generosity, warmth, and gentle spirit touched everyone he met, and his memory will live on in the stories and smiles he leaves behind. Though Jonathan is no longer with us, his spirit remains in the laughter of his family, the beauty of a perfectly restored car, the peacefulness of a quiet fishing spot, and the soaring majesty of aircraft in the sky. His life was a testament to love, perseverance, and the beauty of following one's passions. A celebration of Jonathan's life will be held in a private ceremony with close family and friends.
